Only a few rabbits and possums to contend with overnight. No Roo,s like you guys !! Did come across a few sheep but they were well trained and got out the way whereas the north island sheep tend to target your bike !Phil Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627461804367999573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241308002467888030.post-78162639075683091422014-03-10T02:50:19.500-07:002014-03-10T02:50:19.500-07:00Great trip report Phil, I see your another nutty l...Great trip report Phil, I see your another nutty like andrew. Riding through the whole night now thats hardcore.<br />You couldn&#39;t do that with any degree of safety here in oz as there is too much wildlife, unless you have a death wish.Chiller tekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241308002467888030.post-77766878017910482742014-03-10T00:09:39.496-07:002014-03-10T00:09:39.496-07:00Hi Andrew.

Yes up for the 1600km later in the year.The reason I kept going was that I still felt fresh but was concerned at how slowly I seemed to be clocking up the Kms. I dont mind riding in the dark however rain fog and un known roads just add to the mix..<br />Did have a camel back in my tank bag but had a leak so gave up with that in the end, will find a better solution next time.<br />Anyway great time, great people, great roads, what else could you ask for :)Phil Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627461804367999573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241308002467888030.post-58526780903911494992014-03-09T23:04:02.867-07:002014-03-09T23:04:02.867-07:00Great stuff Phil!

I guess the Connie was easy to recognise in the fog - I remember seeing another bike but damned if I could tell it was you! You sure did a lot of riding in the blackness - practising for a certain 1,600km ride eh?<br /><br />Funny you thought that I looked pretty fresh. I was only about a quarter of an hour earlier than you getting in but I did feel really good and could have ridden on if need be. I put it down to drinking heaps of water on all the days. If you don&#39;t have a camel-bak then I highly recommend you get one - I drained mine completely (2L) on both Saturday and Sunday, hardly ate during the day but felt great!Andrew Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716829007873864871noreply@blogger.com
